We've reached the point of bragging about basic shyt is the norm.
And they wonder why our generational wealth is so low. SMH.
And steer clear of shady loan officers who try to talk you into refinancing. Fukkin vultures, man.Biggest flex is when you have the deed at the house..
Then you flex some more and educate your seed on how to work the equity to their advantage..
Jewish people borrow to buy houses that their kids kids will eventually own paid off.
Black people on the other hand
short for Hip-Hop Hindu because he was always breaking new songs to us (via Clue and other DJ mixtapes). Nevermind the fact that he was a Christian lol.
"Congrats brotha! How much you put up for downpayment?"
Thats a flex!This is a real flex:
I have a life-long homey, born in India raised in Brooklyn since when he was a few months old. Both parents worked, and owned a home across the street of where I lived (my parents rented).
One of the most chill people I know. As teens everyone in our hood called him Triple HHH
During our 20s, we spent a lot of times going bar-hopping. Whenever we would hit up the ATM, my boy was always conservative in what he would take out. Mind you, we were in our mid-20s. One time I asked "Dawg, why you always take out a minimal amount?" he lived with his parents, worked a good full time job in NY Presbyterian and didn't have to pay his parents rent. I was basically asking him why he was so cheap.
His answer was "My dad has access to the account and checks it, he wants to make sure I don't be splurging on dumb-shyt" So I put 2 and 2 together and figured that he parents let him live rent-free provided he doesn't spend all his bread.
Anyway, one day at age 30, Triple HHH hits me up:
"Yo, I just copped a crib..."
I said
He says "What you mean?"
"What was your downpayment? How much you gotta pay for mortgage every month"?
He was like "Oh nah, I bought it straight cash"
680,000 for his crib - all cash. That's a flex. He also lurks this forum and is the person who put me up on The Coli.
It's "house blindness" that trips people up. People be like "Only $2200" for this $500k house?"
Not realizing the loan company ain't add in the escrow costs yet and then there's the usual bills of a house that can turn that 2200 into 3k a month when all is said and done.
